Solaris 9 Sparc iSCSI Initiator - Options ?

Hi all,

I'm looking at the prospect of using iSCSI to provide storage to a
somewhat aged Solaris8 (enterprise 4800) server in our department, but
I am having trouble getting a handle on my options for iSCSI Initiator
software.

Google indicates there is lots of support for iSCSI (both initiator
and target) in Solaris10, but I get the feeling Sun hasn't back-ported
any of this stuff.

Most open-source iSCSI initiator projects seem focused on Linux.

I gather one option I may have is the Cisco iSCSI initiator, which I
gather may be now somewhat out of favour (at least on platforms where
other options exist?)

I am simply curious if anyone else has been using iSCSI initiator
software (free ideally) on production Solaris 9 Sparc platforms, and
if so, any pointers on what was used (and how implementation has
been!?) -- would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

--Tim Chipman
